Next SCS meeting to address School of Discovery and 'potential changes' to elementary schools

The next meeting of the Selma City Schools Board of Education will have the School of Discovery and "potential" changes to the local elementary schools. 

A recent announcement on social media by SCS said the meeting will take place on Dec. 1 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Payne Elementary School on 1529 Franklin Street. 

The Selma City School Board in October voted 3-1 for School of Discovery to serve fifth and sixth graders starting next fall. That would have elementary schools in the district transition to serving grades K through four.

Superintendent Dr. David Scott has reported that the district's shrinking enrollment may mean closure of two elementary schools with low enrollment, Clark and Payne.
